mons this evening Col. King Harman, Par
hamentary under secretary for Ireland, re-
plying to William A. Mcdonald Parnellite)
with reference to the remarkable increase in
emigration from Ireland, said it should be
attributed partly to the growing want Of
employment in Ireland; partly 10 the fear
oil the masses that the new crimes act would
enable the authorities to punish for past
violations Of the law, and partly TO the fact
that numbers of the Irish people were forced
to leave the country because of disinclina-
ton to Join secret societies. (Parnelllte cries
of 'Ohl ohv)
Mr.. Macdonald asked: isn't the increase
IN emigration from Ireland partly due to the
introduction by the government of the
crimes bill and the desire of the Irish people
toiescaape its tyranny" (Cries Of Hear

talk with Albert Fink, Commissioner on
Trunk Lines, as to the operations of the
law, its effects upon railroads, etc The con-
ference was entirely informal, the commits
sioners desiring to get additional light upon
the attitude of railroads as to the law. Fink
favored a permanent suspension of the
fourth section wherever necessary to meet
competition. In reply to Chairman Blapk,

made that should compel certain railroads
which had refused to do so, to give half rate
fare to members of the National House for
